Fertiberia prepare for their Asobal campaign with double training sessions and 5 friendlies

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto, who began pre-season last Tuesday, are already preparing with double training sessions for their eighth season in Spain’s top handball league, Asobal. To prepare the squad, Croatian coach Nicola Milos has scheduled physical conditioning and strength training, running and court sessions over the next two weeks, taking place in both the morning and afternoon. In addition, on Saturday 12 August the entire squad will once again run in the 50 Volta a Peu organised by CD Camp de Morvedre. Today the players completed a mountain session to conclude the first week of work. After completing the first week of training, Croatian coach Nikola Milos and Chovi Tomas highlighted that “they are pleased with the players’ effort, as they are working very well under the direction of David Bruixola in his role as fitness coach.” They also stated that “this week has been of medium intensity, to make contact and get a feel for things. Next week the intensity will increase. There will be gym sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and in the afternoons we will begin working with the ball on court. The final highlight will be running the Volta a Peu.” It is also worth highlighting that, before their league debut at the Palau Blaugrana against the reigning league champions, FC Barcelona Lassa, the red-and-whites will play 5 friendly matches. Three opponents and five matches make up the plan for building competitive rhythm. Globalcaja Ciudad Encantada at El Sargal on Friday 18 August at 20:30 will be the first test. The next will be an unprecedented pre-season encounter: Agustinos de Alicante, a newly promoted División de Honor Plata side, will host the red-and-whites in Alicante on Tuesday 22 at 20:00. The return fixture against the Alicante side will be the first home match at the Ovni, on Saturday 26 at a time yet to be determined. Three days later, on 29 August, the Cuenca side will visit the Ovni at 20:15, and the pre-season finale will be the Copa Comunitat Valenciana final against BM Benidorm, to be played on Saturday or Sunday 2 or 3 September. Five matches and many training sessions to fine-tune the mechanisms of this exciting Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto side, who hope to begin the first half of the league as they did last season, with spectacular statistics that they aspire to maintain throughout the 2017–2018 campaign.   The squad undergoes medical checks and fitness tests   During these days, the entire first-team squad has undergone a medical examination carried out by doctor Concepción Benlloch San José and club doctor José Ignacio García García, as well as fitness tests conducted by the new Instituto Salud y Deporte (Avenida Ojos Negros, 41), established in Puerto Sagunto thanks to the centre’s agreement with the red-and-white club.
